• Active or inactive state of the alert.
• Threshold criteria:
• Percent traffic capacity utilized. This is the percent of the port’s throughput capacity achieved
by the measured throughput. This setting constitutes the threshold value. For example, the
value of 50 means that the port’s threshold is reached when throughput is 50% of capacity.
• Time interval during which throughput is measured and alert notification can occur.
• The maximum cumulative time that the throughput percentage can be exceeded during the
set time interval before an alert is generated.
• Ports for which you are configuring threshold alerts.
Use the following procedures to create a new threshold alert, or to modify, activate, deactivate, or
